Don’t allow you to use unless you commit to a subscription even though it’s advertised for FREE. ### 1/5 — Nicht zu gebrauchen *2026-01-09* Mit IPhone nutzlos ### 1/5 — Podre *2026-01-04* Podre lixo serve pra nada ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work! *2025-12-29, version 8.0* Doesn’t work. Please refund me ### 1/5 — Absolut unnütz *2025-12-23* App funktioniert nicht. Das Abo ist eine Frechheit. ### 1/5 — Arbeitet nicht!!! *2025-12-18* App arbeitet nicht und kostet so viel!!! Bitte kaufen Sie diesen App nicht!! ### 1/5 — Pay $ for wasted time *2025-12-12, version 8.0* Nothing works ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-11-11, version 5.0* Terrible ### 1/5 — De la daube *2025-11-05* Ne fonctionne pas et est bourrée de pubs. Désinstallation directe … ### 1/5 — Couldn’t find TV *2025-09-26, version 3.0* Couldn’t even list the Samsung TV as an option while other (generic) screen casting apps could, as well as my Samsung phone. ### 1/5 — Cannot connect *2025-09-14, version 3.0* Not useable ### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht gut *2025-08-20* Funktioniert einfach nicht gut nicht zu empfehlen ### 1/5 — Full of ads and doesn’t work *2025-08-18* Ads are implemented in a very misleading way to make you click on it while trying to setup the account. On top of that I was unable to connect to the TV. ### 1/5 — Does not work!!! *2025-07-18, version 1.9* Downloaded to screen mirror with my Samsung TV. Could not connect. Instructions on app do not match the app. Complete junk app. Deleted after 10 minutes of trying to make it work. Expected better from Samsung. ### 1/5 — It’s difficult to use *2025-07-18, version 1.9* I can’t connect my phone to the TV ### 1/5 — Do not download! *2025-07-14, version 1.9* This app is incredibly misleading. It appears to offer a subscription through Apple, yet it does not show under Apple Subscriptions, making it nearly impossible to cancel. The in-app “cancel” option is non-functional, and users are left without proper support or recourse. I attempted to resolve this through Apple and through the app directly with no success. The lack of transparency and poor user experience are unacceptable. I rated it one star only because zero isn’t an option — and even that feels too generous. I strongly advise others to avoid downloading this app until the developers address these deceptive practices. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Abzocke *2026-07-26* Also ohne ein lebenslanges Abo für 45€ abzuschließen geht erstmal gar nichts. Und was man hier so in den Rezessionen liest, zeigt auch das die App eh nicht das macht, was Spielsachen soll ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work… *2026-06-30* Doesn’t work at all… total waste of time & money. ### 1/5 — Free? *2026-06-02, version 10.0* Why do you say it‘s free while we can‘t try it even for one step or some days to see what exactly it is? ### 1/5 — Charged me Annual subscription *2026-04-19, version 9.0* Downloaded and cancelled this app within 24 hours, couldn’t watch anything and 7 days later charged for Annual Subscription. Subscription showed as cancelled yet still charged. Disgraceful ### 1/5 — Sucks *2026-04-18, version 9.0* I tried everything and didn’t even work!?!? ### 1/5 — Unbrauchbar *2026-04-12* die aufgabe war, einen film vom iphone auf dem tv zu sehen. klappt nichts, ### 1/5 — I want a refund been sat here for hours trying to connect it to the tv shocking *2026-04-02, version 9.0* Terrible ### 1/5 — Don’t buy *2026-03-25, version 9.0* You don’t need this you can just use your own screen casting options that come with your phone for free plus this one did not work. ### 1/5 — Fake app *2026-03-24* I paid 399 but screen mirroring is not working ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-03-08, version 9.0* Do NOT use ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Dushanbe *2025-12-05, version 8.0* Shabaka ### 5/5 — Op l’appli *2025-11-06* 80% satisfait ### 5/5 — Vryrjeyeurhte *2025-04-23* They ### 5/5 — Great Resource *2024-10-30, version 1.6* Great resource whether using it to share data with my coworkers or watching a tv show with my honey. ### 5/5 — Amiri *2024-10-07, version 1.6* Amiri ### 3/5 — Smartview’s avis *2026-06-26, version 10.0* Je n’utilise pas encore cette app mais, j’ai entendu parler. ### 3/5 — Cancel *2026-01-04, version 8.0* How do I cancel my subscription? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
